Illustrative →Dagou Stream Ecological Park
The Dagou Stream Ecological Stormwater Park sits at the end of Dahu Villa Street in Taipei's Neihu District, near MRT Dahu Park Station. The site combines flood control with ecological restoration, using near-natural engineering to create wetlands and a waterfront trail system that follows roughly 3.5 kilometers of stream. Paved stone paths and gravel trails are gentle enough for strollers, older visitors, and families, and the corridor is home to a wide range of plants, animals, birds, and insects. Seasonal flower fields and open meadows make the park popular for picnics and casual walking, and during storms the same space serves as a detention basin that protects downstream neighborhoods.
